"The in-room humidification system ensures homogeneous humidification and reliable compliance with the required standard climate in all rooms thanks to the individual units."
Benefits
Precise and accurate humidity control in cleanroom and laboratory environments has many benefits.
Preserve material integrity
At the ideal humidity, products at kept in equilibrium, without drying or wetting.
Maximise production yields
Correct humidity improves production quality and reduces manufacturing waste.
Ensures regulatory compliance
Poor humidity control can delay stability testing, impacting process compliance.
Humidity control in cleanrooms and laboratories
Humidification in cleanrooms and laboratories
Maintaining the appropriate humidity level in a cleanroom manufacturing environment is essential for optimising production yields and reducing waste. Even minor fluctuations in humidity can lead to accelerated drying of coatings, static charges that interfere with packaging, or complications in sensitive printing processes.
Standard humidification solutions used in offices or general human health settings typically lack the precision necessary for these stringent requirements, making specialised humidification systems indispensable.
Given that environmental parameters often require round-the-clock regulation, it is crucial to implement a robust humidification strategy that addresses both maintenance needs and ongoing operational costs and energy consumption.

Dehumidifiers for controlled environments
Many cleanroom manufacturing processes require very low humidity to prevent sensitive materials reacting with moisture. Materials such as lithium used in batteries can require environments as low as 1% RH during manufacturing to avoid degradation. Unpacked medicines, capsules, powders and syrups are also highly sensitive to moisture.
For this reason, desiccant dehumidifiers are frequently used in cleanrooms and laboratories to provide very low and highly accurate humidity control. A desiccant dehumidifier removes moisture from the air by adsorbing it in a slowly turning desiccant wheel. Desiccant dehumidifiers can be placed in series, enabling them to provide humidity levels as low as 1% RH.

Robert Koch-Institut, Berlin (Germany)
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) is a federal institute within the portfolio of the Federal Ministry of Health. In 2016, the RKI moved into a new four-storey laboratory and office building with an area of around 60,000 m2. There, for example, influenza experts from the RKI prepare weekly situation reports, examine which flu viruses are circulating and check the effectiveness of flu vaccinations.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Switzerland
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich is probably the best-known university in Switzerland and secures one of the top positions in the global ranking of universities on a regular basis. Founded in 1855 as the Swiss Federal Polytechnic, ETH is primarily dedicated to the technical, mathematical and scientific fields. Condair steam humidifiers ensure healthy and comfortable air humidity in the labs and classrooms.
Cern, Meyrin (Geneva), Switzerland
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is a leading institution in modern physics and nuclear research. It attracts international scientists and engineers to explore the fundamental properties of the universe, notably through its Large Hadron Collider, where atoms are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and collide.
